"General, they have escaped. I saw that carriage and it has sent people to follow them."

The Golden Armour rubbed its meatless cheeks and said faintly, "If you knew that the horse carriage was following them, would those bastards from Fengyuan also think the same way? If they were to think like this, would they still place Lady Ji in the carriage? "

The subordinate was speechless. After a while, he said, "This general is stupid. I will take my men to chase after the other team."

"Go quickly, if you meet with any problems, be careful."

Golden Armor also urged his horse to follow. He tricked Wei Changqing into saying that they were Yunmeng's reinforcements and did not carry the banner of Southern Champion, lest Ling Feng use Ji Tian Ning as a hostage and threaten them.

The opposing side had more than two thousand troops, and the number of troops he led was not as many as the opposing side. Thus, he did not choose to encircle them, but instead, surrounded them from the front and back, leaving a path for Ling Feng's men to flee.

Several groups of people were chasing after them. From time to time, there would be people waiting in ambush ahead of them. They would launch a sneak attack and retreat.

Ling Feng's men fled as they were being hunted, and they gradually neared fertile ground.

"Wei Changqing, Wei Changqing."

Ling Feng shouted loudly in his panic. Wei Changqing hurriedly urged his horse to Ling Feng's side, "What orders do you have for me, Lord Manager?"

"This general director is a bit uneasy and very strange. Just who are those people?" "Where are they from?"

Wei Changqing shook his head, "This lowly general does not know that they did not put up any flags and even said that they were Yunmeng's men. In the darkness, this lowly general does not know who they are. "

"He doesn't seem like one of Yun Meng's men. His Majesty and Yun Meng already agreed that Yun Meng's men wouldn't attack us as they please." From what I see, they seem to be people of the Southern Champion region, but how did the people of the Southern Champion region appear in the north? "

"Head Steward, did something happen to Fenggong?"

Wei Changqing was anxious and had a bad premonition. He didn't have any peace of mind along the way. Tang Mu Chen and Yan Feng came and left one after another, constantly intruding until they didn't even dare to rest. Right now, it was already night. Yet, a large group of people had appeared and launched sneak attacks at them. They were planning to do anything and everything.

"How is this possible? A fertile city and a great number of defensive troops. How could there be any mishaps?" Even if Shang Qiuyuan, that traitor, were to attack Fenggong, it would still be impossible for him to defeat Fenggong within a month's time. "

Wei Changqing was a little disapproving. If it was anyone else, it might have been a month, or even a few months, but if the other party was Shang Qiuyuan, then there was no way to say for sure.

He knew that there were people who had been discussing this matter since long ago, and they wanted to selfishly go to the Grand Autumn Plains. It was just that because there was no chance, he had always been patient. The Emperor's suspicious and brutal actions caused the hearts of many soldiers to turn cold. There were also many people who sympathized with Shang Qiuyuan, and they believed that the destruction of the Shang clan was the Emperor's miscalculation.

"If we attack forcefully, naturally, it will be difficult to break through Feng Rong's attack. However, if there is someone secretly …"

"What did you say?"

He remembered that Ling Feng was His Majesty's personal eunuch and currently a popular person in the imperial harem. He did not dare to continue muttering and hurriedly said, "This lowly general is saying, if the other party was a member of the Southern Champion team, they might want to besiege you. At this moment, it might be very difficult for us to enter the harem."

Ling Feng said worriedly, "You're right. If people from the Southern Champion Kingdom appear here, we have to be careful. It's a pity that none of the scouts have returned.

Along the way, they kept on running and kept on launching sneak attacks. The number of people that came were dwindling. They were already exhausted, and now that they were ambushed, there was not even a moment of opportunity. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they didn't know if they would be able to reach prosperity tonight.

Some people were hiding in secret, not wanting to send themselves to their deaths like this. Others secretly took advantage of the enemy's sneak attack to run away. As long as they did not return to fertile land, no one would know if they were dead, or if they had run away, or if they still had a chance to live.

In any case, in the dark night, they could find a place overgrown with weeds or a ravine at will and hide themselves.

There were also some who surrendered to the opposite party with no choice but to preserve their lives.

"Fenggong was breached. Prince Consort Ma already breached Fenggong, and now that he's entered Fenggong, the emperor has fled …"

The great army was shocked. For a time, this rumor started spreading, and it was unknown who spread this news. Instantly, everyone became flustered.

"Lord Commander, the soldiers are all saying that Prince Consort has already broken through Fenggong and the Emperor has already escaped."

"Who is it? Who is spreading the rumors? "

Wei Changqing was infuriated. Taking a walk at this time was such a rumour. His morale was low, so how could he face the enemy?

"It's not a rumor. A few soldiers said they escaped from Fenggong and were caught by us. It was spread by them." Our soldiers accidentally found out about it and spread it amongst each other. "

"What?" "Impossible, bring them here."

Ling Feng turned pale with fright as he hastily ordered those people to be brought over. Someone brought a few battered and exhausted soldiers to Ling Feng.

"Who are you people?"

"Reporting to the lord, this lowly one is a soldier that guarded the fertile north gate." Replying to the lord, this lowly one is a soldier that guarded the fertile north gate. I don't want to meet the Lord and get caught. "

"Nonsense, there is no way that fertile land will be breached. This general director has only left Fenggong for a few days, you must be a spy for the Southern Champion. Spread rumors here and confuse my morale."

"I dare not, it was the Prince Consort who attracted the waters of the Yellow Springs. "The Heavens knew that Prince Consort Ma was wronged, so they secretly helped each other. I heard that the Emperor had already left Fenggong, but I don't know where he went now."

"Impossible, impossible …"

Ling Feng's face was devoid of color as he repeated himself in a daze.

Wei Changqing frowned and asked, "You are the guardian of the Feng Rao North Gate, where are you Chief Patrol Officer Xie?"

That person said doubtfully, "Our Inspector is Lord He, and not a single one of us thanked him."

Wei Changqing was actually purposely asking this, wanting to test if this person was real or fake. Seeing the dust covered faces and the icicles on their bodies, he was still hesitant.

"Sir Wei, please don't go back to being generous." Sir Wei, please don't go back to being merciful. I was supposed to escape with my master, but I was lost along the way. Currently, there were many soldiers of the Southern Champion City outside Fengliang City in pursuit of those who had escaped. I wonder if this little person can escape. "

"You know me?"

"Among the brothers in Fengcong City, there are a few who don't know the Lord Commander. If the Lord has the intention to surrender to Prince Consort Ma, then we can return to Fengcong."

That person lowered his voice and whispered into Wei Changqing's ear before retreating quickly.

Wei Changqing flew into a rage, "Men, push these people down and kill them. These spies actually dared to spread rumors in our army, they can't be left alive! This junior is a spy from the Southern Champion City, let's quickly behead him to settle this!"

Someone came over and pushed a few unlucky bastards to the ground. Even though Wei Changqing said this, he started to panic in his heart. If he had already lost Fenggong, where should they go now? "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu ~

He walked up to Ling Feng's side and said in a low voice, "Head Supervisor, you have heard as well. Now that Fenggong has been breached, where should we go?"

Ling Feng was in a daze. "How would this servant know?"

Subconsciously, he used to call himself a "servant" and completely forgot that his official position was above Wei Changqing.

Wei Changqing shook his head helplessly as he saw Ling Feng in such a state. He instructed the group to head towards the direction of Ye City. Since he could not return to Ye City due to Feng Rong, they could only head towards the Ye City.

When everyone heard that Fenggong had been lost, they became even more dispirited and dispirited. Each and every one of them secretly calculated their route of retreat. After running for two days and two nights, their horses were tired, and they no longer had the strength to withstand the enemy's attacks.

"I say, since Prince Consort has taken over the bounty, I think we might as well …"

Whispering could be heard from within the army. Wei Changqing was furious and shouted, "Don't speak nonsense. It was a spy from the Southern Champion team who spread the rumor. Those who dare to spread the rumor will be killed without mercy!"

He knew very well that if this continued, the large number of people would quickly collapse, and at that time, only death awaited him and Ling Feng. Unlike the soldiers, he was afraid that Shang Qiuyuan would not let him go, so he had to escape to Ye City.

Ji Tian Ning was lying on the horse. When she heard this news, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. If Feng Rong had already been breached, then these people wouldn't be of much use if they brought her along.

In the dark night, after running for a while, Ling Feng woke up. He looked at Ji Tian Ning on Wei Changqing's horse and said, "Commander Wei, now that you have been attacked, there is no point in keeping this evil fiend for yourself. If you want to take her and even disturb our march, why don't you … "

He made a slashing gesture with his hand as malice rose in his heart. After being toyed with by Ji Tian Ning, he wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge.

Ji Tian Ning's heart trembled. He secretly held the knife in his hand with fear. Right now, she was still holding onto the knife, but she did not dare to cut the rope because if she cut the rope in front of Wei Changqing's horse, she would be discovered by him.

Wei Changqing slightly shook his head and said, "I don't care about the other person. Or perhaps, this sinful concubine is our only hope in surviving. "By now, His Majesty will probably go to Ye City as well, so we'll take a detour to Ye City."

While they were talking, another horse attacked them. Everyone fled in panic, not daring to stop for even a moment. Ling Feng did not dare to leave Wei Changqing and followed closely behind Wei Changqing. The two experts beside him also followed closely.

After escaping for a long distance, Wei Changqing looked back. There were no longer many people around him. He did not know if they were killed or fled.

"Commander Wei, Wei … Commander, let's take a break. "

"Manager, it's too dangerous to rest now. We should hurry on our way."

Wei Changqing despised him in his heart. Right now, it was not the time for him to rest, so he did not want to see what time it was. If he waited until dawn, it would be even harder to escape.

"Hiss …"

A few war horses lay on the ground moaning in grief. They were foaming at the mouth and had lost their strength and were unable to get up again.

Ling Feng panted, "Commander Wei, even if it's just humans, we can't do it anymore. "If we don't rest for a while, I'm afraid we'll be exhausted."

Wei Changqing had no choice but to search for a patch of forest nearby. He then entered the forest to rest for a while.

"Don't make any noise, and don't light the fire. Let's deal with some dry food and water. First, feed the horses. We will be on our way after a short rest."

"Lord, I'm afraid these horses can't run anymore. If we try to force our way in, many of the warhorses will be exhausted to death. Without them, we …"

That person did not continue speaking. Without a horse, they could not run fast and could only become prisoners of the Southern Champion. However, they didn't dare to stay here any longer, because the enemy would come at them at any time, and they didn't have much strength to resist.

Ling Feng glared hatefully at Ji Tian Ning, who had been thrown onto the ground. He wanted to use Ji Tian Ning as a hostage, but he didn't even know who she was. The enemy never revealed his true face and negotiated with them.
